Chapter 578 Numerous Hidden Bombs
Chapter 578 Numerous Hidden Bombs
Yang Yue stared at the timed explosive device in front of her, her gaze intense.
She recognized it as military-grade C4 bomb, and moreover, an improved version with considerable power. If it were to explode, the entire wall would be blown open.
After finding one bomb, Yang Yue quickly continued her search and soon discovered twelve of these bombs hidden in the secluded corners of the third level.
Each bomb was strategically placed in the weakest spots of the building.
Especially inside the largest load-bearing pillar, there were six C4 bombs hidden!
If these six bombs were to explode together, the load-bearing pillar would be severely damaged, potentially affecting the safety of the entire Enthronement Platform.
"It seems that Yaksha Great King has infiltrated Canton City for quite a while. Why did not we detect anything?" Yang Yue broke into a cold sweat as she looked at so many bombs.
As members of the Dragon Team, they were responsible for the city\'s security, equipped with the most advanced machinery and powerful intelligence systems. Yet, they had no idea about Yaksha Great King\'s presence until Wang Chao informed Bai Yang.
This showed just how secretive Yaksha Great King\'s actions were and how terrifying his concealment skills were, even managing to deceive their advanced systems.
"How did Instructor Wang discover this?" Yang Yue was puzzled again. The Dragon Team\'s powerful system couldn\'t detect Yaksha Great King\'s movements, but Wang Chao seemed to know. Could it be that Wang Chao possessed a more sophisticated and powerful intelligence system than the Dragon Team?
Thinking of this, her curiosity about Wang Chao\'s background grew stronger.
However, as a member of the Dragon Team, Yang Yue had a strong psychological endurance. She quickly regained her composure from the shock and confusion. Picking up the walkie-talkie, she spoke in a serious tone, "Captain, I\'m on the third basement level, and I\'ve made a new discovery."
"There are many C4 bombs here, and they\'re timed."
"I suggest informing Dragon Team\'s bomb disposal experts to secretly come here and defuse these bombs."
After that, she took out her phone, turned on the flashlight, and took pictures of the hidden bombs in the darkness. She sent the pictures to Tang Zelong.
"I\'ll be there shortly."
After receiving the information, Tang Zelong quickly replied.
Putting away her phone, Yang Yue continued her search in the vast underground area.
In less than thirty minutes, she found thirty more C4 bombs.
Looking at these bombs, her scalp tingled, and she couldn\'t help but worry.
How did Yaksha sneak in so quietly with so many bombs? How long has he been infiltrating Canton City?
And, the fact that this person could transport so many bombs into the area and deceive Sikong Yun\'s team, installing them without anyone noticing, meant that he must have disguised himself as a high-ranking officer or noble under Sikong Yun\'s command, granting him the freedom to move without arousing suspicion.
"Is\'t Minister Cui Hao from the Engineering Department?"
"Or Supervisor Sikong Chuan?"
"Or perhaps a high-ranking member of the War Department, a war-god level expert?"
"Who is he, exactly?"
Yang Yue\'s thoughts raced, considering all the high-ranking officials involved in the construction of the Enthronement Platform, and each one seemed suspicious. However, she lacked any evidence to prove any of it.
"There\'s only half a month left until Sikong Yun\'s enthronement. Can we find Yaksha in such a short time?"
With her bow and arrow on her back, Yang Yue\'s gaze turned serious.
While she was contemplating, suddenly, her skin pores contracted, sensing a chilling killing intent.
"Who\'s there?"
Yang Yue reacted swiftly, bending her bow and nocking an arrow, aiming at the darkness to her right where the killing intent originated.
As a professional archer, Yang Yue excelled in stealth, marksmanship, and assassination, with miraculous reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance abilities.
In the moment she sensed the killing intent, she already reacted, nocking an arrow and aiming at the source.
Her intuition told her that someone in that direction held murderous intent toward her, and she had to be on high alert.
However, when she focused her gaze on the dark area, she furrowed her brows.
There was no one there!
The corner was empty, not even a cat in sight.
Even the ventilation ducts were silent and showed no signs of movement.
"Was it just my imagination?"
Yang Yue stared at the spot, slightly furrowing her brows.
Soon, she confirmed it.
In that moment, her body had reacted to the killing intent, with her pores contracting and her scalp tingling, indicating that someone was watching her from the shadows, harboring murderous intentions.
The reason she did not see anyone was that the person who had been hiding in the darkness had disappeared in the instant she turned around.
"Such incredible speed, it seems this is no friendly visitor," Yang Yue\'s eyes turned icy cold. She activated her techniques, heightened her vigilance to the peak, and enhanced her perception to its maximum.
Her two ears perked up, attentively listening to everything around her.
With the keen hearing of a master archer, she could pick up any movement or sound within a radius of two kilometers, even the softest sound of a cat\'s footsteps.
In that moment, Yang Yue heard very light and fast footsteps, almost like a cat\'s paw delicately touching the ground, almost soundless.
The swiftness of the footsteps was astonishing!
Silent and elusive, beyond comprehension!
However, while the person\'s movements were quiet, the sound of his body slicing through the air was still caught by Yang Yue\'s keen senses.
"Such a sneaky presence, surely not a good person. Show yourself!" Yang Yue\'s ears twitched, and she immediately reacted. She nocked an arrow, aimed in that direction, and when the source of the sound was about fifty meters away from her, she released a shot with lightning speed.
Whoosh!
The arrow pierced through, creating a high-pitched sound of breaking the air as it flew towards the intruder.
"It\'s me!"
At this moment, a familiar voice came from the darkness.
Yang Yue recognized it instantly as Tang Zelong\'s voice. Her expression changed, and she quickly realized the situation. She nocked another arrow and shot it with even greater speed, shattering the first arrow in the process.
Due to the force of the shattering, the second arrow lost its momentum and fell at the feet of the person.
Yang Yue\'s archery skills were simply miraculous and unparalleled.
Tang Zelong stood behind the arrow with a smile, saying, "Yang Yue, what are you doing? You almost took me out with that shot."
